Caer Galen Midwinter

description:
Welcome to Rome, 1497. As you admire the wondrous art and high culture of this, the finest of cities, be sure to watch your back. Intrigue is at its height as noble families vie for prominence. Even the mightiest houses are rocked with scandal. Lucrezia Borgia has accused her husband, Giovanni Sforza, of impotence and is filing for a divorce. In retaliation, Giovanni claims that his young bride has indulged in incestuous affairs with both her brother and her father! But beware of whom you share gossip with. Spies are everywhere in the courts, and the assassin's blade is ever ready to avenge a perceived slight.

Assassins' TournamentTry to kill your target before you get targeted yourself. Pre-registration
is HIGHLY encouraged. Sign-up with the Hermit by 1:00. Special weapons and
services will be available from the Doge (with proper monetary
consideration, of course). Details and rules may be found at:
